“If you go to court and I’m saying the matter can be interpreted in court, but unfortunately you cannot go to court because you are not aggrieved.”
Two members of the Action Alliance in the House of Representatives on the platform , Messrs Pascal Obi and Kingsley Uju have defected to the ruling All progressive congress .
There was, however, a mild drama as the House Minority Leader, Mr Tony Elumelu kicked against the decision by the lawmakers on the basis that it ran contrary to Section 68 of the 1999 constitution as amended. He was promptly ruled out of order by Gbajabiamila, who argued that “There is something in law called locus. My question to you is this, are you a member of AA? You are the Minority Leader, you are a member of PDP, as minority leader you are not automatically a member of AA.
The lawmakers who later spoke to reporters argued that their decision was in the best interest of their constituents who all along belonged to the APC.
